Paragraph 160 of the NPPF states that local planning authorities should prepare and maintain a robust evidence base to understand both existing needs and likely changes in the economic markets operating within their area. Paragraph 161 of the framework states this evidence should be used to assess: . The needs for land or floorspace for economic development, including the qualitative and quantitative needs for foreseeable types of economic activity over the plan period; and . The existing and future supply of land available for economic development and its sufficiency and suitability to meet identified needs. 1.2 Annex 2 of the NPPF identifies “economic development” as including development within the B Use Classes, public and community

  • Settlement Hierarchy Background Paper
    Scarborough Borough Council November 2015 Scarborough Borough Local Plan Settlement Hierarchy Background Paper Scarborough Filey Settlement Hierarchy Background Paper CONTENTS 1.0 INTRODUCTION 2.0 THE SETTLEMENT HIERARCHY 3.0 THE BOROUGH’S SETTLEMENTS APPENICES APPENDIX 1: SETTLEMENT ASSESSMENTS APPENDIX 2: BUS TIMES Settlement Hierarchy Background Paper 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 A key role of the Local Plan is to manage the scale and pattern of development across the Borough as a means of delivering sustainable growth; recognising that development that makes use of existing facilities and services, and thereby reduces the need to travel by private car, is inherently ‘more sustainable’ than isolated development. This is reflected in paragraph 17 of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF), which states that planning should, as one of the 12 core planning principles; “…actively manage patterns of growth to make the fullest use of public transport, walking and cycling, and focus development in locations which are or can be made more sustainable.” 1.2 To this end, the Local Plan recognises that the potential capacity for growth differs from settlement to settlement, depending on their sustainability. The sustainability of a settlement is defined by its functional role within the overall network of settlements, which is in turn shaped by the level of services and facilities it provides. This is reflected within the plan’s Settlement Hierarchy policy (policy SH1). What is the Settlement Hierarchy? 1.3 The Settlement Hierarchy provides a basic framework for managing the broad distribution of development across the Borough. It categorises settlements according to their relative sustainability within a hierarchical (tiered) structure; distinguishing between those that have access to a wide range of services and facilities, including access to major service centres by public transport, and those that do not.

  • Emergency Active Travel Fund Tranche 2.Pdf
    North Yorkshire County Council Business and Environmental Services Briefing Note for Corporate Director, Business and Environmental Services and BES Executive Member for Access 6 August 2020 Emergency Active Travel Fund - Tranche 2 1.0 Purpose of Briefing Note 1.1 The Government has recently announced £2bn funding over 5 years for walking and cycling facilities. The indicative allocation from the Department for Transport (DfT) was that the NYCC allocation for the current year (20/21) would be in the region of £1.3m spread across two tranches, with a smaller amount, £133,000 of that money already released under tranche 1 of the Emergency Active Travel Fund (EATF). In tranche 1 the total indicative allocation to NYCC was £266,000 but only 50% funding was awarded following the DfT assessment of our Tranche 1 bid. A proposal to fund the other £133,000 and complete all of the schemes set out in the tranche 1 bid given the importance of the proposed measures to the Covid-19 recovery strategy is the subject of a separate briefing note. The split of tranche 1 funding from the DfT is £4,143 capital and £128,857 revenue. 1.2 Brief feedback about the tranche 1 bid was received from the DfT and they felt that our bid could have focussed more on replacing public transport trips with cycling rather than creating space for walking and cycling in town centre areas. Walking has a much bigger modal share than cycling in our county and we focussed our efforts in aiming to providing such improvements however the DfT felt that we were not able to cause a large enough modal shift from Public Transport.
